Summary:

We are partnering with the International Organization for Migration, the World Food Program (WFP), the International Lifeline Fund and now we are grateful to the support of the Clinton Foundation that is enabling us to scale up and diversify our operation. (..) The WFP estimates that each school in the program uses an average of 1,000 briquettes per month, so the long-term full scale demand for briquettes is significant. By introducing the briquettes through school feeding programs, we can reach a wide audience and prove the effectiveness of the briquettes through trusted community liaisons. We have so far delivered more than 200,000 briquettes to the WFP, and based on our calculations, that means we have saved an estimated 8,000 trees already.
